Not sure where to fit the front plate that I had made in the Volksworld show, either stick it to the lower front panel or screw it to the bumper, what you all recon?

Found this pic on the net taken by someone else at the Volksworld show:-

Continued with the sink repairs on Milly fitted a new foam seal around the sink & screwed it back in place:-

Got a fem more jobs sorted, the wiring for the leasure battery & mains hook up is complete at last, I used some contact adhesive on the front edge of the front door rubbers because they were oving a bit, now they are sorted, fitted a new sticker to my spare wheel cupboard door& ordered a campmobile one refitted my hob & sink coverKevin has donea small repair on it but eventually the whole lot will need re-lainating, while Kevin was here he repaired a few loose edges on other pieces of lamiate. I ot my uner dash tray on & cut a slot for the handbrake warning light switch (its meant to be that angle to match the original hole underneath), I aso fitted my new No. plate went for the bumper in the end:-








As you can see I need a few new stickers especially the two on the dash.

Decided to fit a chrome engine lid latch instead of the black one:-




I need to order a new striker for the hatch too (its not rust its dirt attracted to the waxoyl)


Fitted my new plastic clips to the deluxe trim, but still no joy, I wish I'd bought the originall Alloy one now but its too late now, think I'll contact the supplier & they can sort me out!

Not done much to Milly lately cos I've been busy with my new job & been away most weekends with her, I've fitted Stainless Steel wipers & wiper arms & a new Campmobile sticker, I've had a photoshoot in her which I'll tell you about again. I also had a puncture in the front driver side wheel, thats been repaired now. I'll just put a load of pictures up for you to see. Here is Milly at Bank Farm when we all went camping there:-

Also been to Stanford Hall where I entered the concours d'elegance I didn't do too bad apparently over 100 is good, I lost out marks because of the non standard wheels, poptop material & the interior cloth, the only thing is they look too nice to replace so I'll have to live with them:-

This is the score sheet I had apparently over 100 is good, the winner had 120 so as you can see I'm not far away.
